Chapter 1689: Chapter 39: Who Is the [Boss]?

The true dragon of Shenzhou has already opened his mouth to dismiss guests; once he speaks, not even the unparalleled national scholar, the Fiery Cloud Evil God from the bureau, can withstand him.

He was just a junior agent stationed at the local office of the management bureau, and could only retreat helplessly at this time.

The little butterfly monster politely escorted him to the door of the pet hospital and apologized, “I’m sorry, Sister Long has been staying up late these days, and her liver fire seems a bit excessive, please don’t take offense.”

As she spoke, the little butterfly monster quickly bowed.

——What a nice girl…

Wei Zidao secretly admired her in his heart; no wonder the ordinary people with demon residency in the city have always praised this little nurse at the pet hospital.

This kind of smile can heal people… Wei Zidao felt that if it weren’t for humans and monsters ultimately being different, he might have succumbed to becoming a fan himself.

——Monday today is truly a full day.

“It’s okay.” Wei Zidao smiled and said, “I’ve heard that Lord Long is always like this; I was psychologically prepared before coming… And you, your name seems to be Pianqian? Really a nice name!”

“Thank you!” The little butterfly monster smiled sweetly, “This name was changed by the boss, and I’ve always liked it.”

“Is it Lord Long?” Wei Zidao was taken aback.

“Nope.” The little butterfly monster shook her head and said, “The boss is the boss; Sister Long is Sister Long!”

“Then… who is the boss?” Wei Zidao’s heart tensed; it was the agent’s sort of intuition that stirred his heart… after handling many secret matters, one instinctively stays alert.

“Hmm…” The little butterfly monster pressed her finger against her lips, slightly tilting her head and said, “The boss is very powerful, a good person! Everyone likes the boss!”

“Everyone?”

Luo Pianqian counted on her fingers and said, “Me! Sister Zijun! And Sister Long…”

Zijun… Could it be Su Zijun?

The legendary last princess of the Xuanyuan royal family?

Wei Zidao was shocked, intuitively feeling that he accidentally heard something from this little nurse that could shake the entire Shenzhou Dao and Demon Realms!

Just a last princess of the Xuanyuan royal family would be shocking enough.

… and even Lord Long?

Wei Zidao couldn’t help but breathe rapidly; he was about to carefully inquire about the identity of this boss.

But at this moment, the window upstairs suddenly opened, and Long Xiruo suddenly poked her head out, “Pianqian! We’re out of snacks at home, go buy some up… huh, why haven’t you left yet? I don’t offer free meals here!”

“I’m leaving now!” Wei Zidao broke into a cold sweat and quickly walked away… did this Lord Long hear the conversation just now and specifically come to caution?

Perhaps saying: someone of your status hasn’t the right to know such things… something like that?

So what’s the identity of this mysterious boss, who even the last princess of the Xuanyuan royal family and Shenzhou’s true dragon like?!

Big news, absolutely big news… capable of causing the Shenzhou Dao and Demon Realms to explode directly!

In urgent eagerness, Wei Zidao quickly summoned a taxi — not planning to take the bus anymore, even considering paying the taxi fare himself without reimbursement!

“Hey! Brother Liu, it’s me, Zidao! I just came out from Lord Long’s place!” Wei Zidao quickly pulled out his phone, “Brother Liu, listen to me, I’ve uncovered big news!!”

…

“This guy, what’s going on?” At the window, Shenzhou’s true dragon did not shrink back, just frowned while watching the rigid yet swift-moving guy, “Speaking of which, what’s his name?”

“Ah! I forgot to ask!” The little butterfly monster said with regret on her face.

Shenzhou’s true dragon directly tossed a bottle of Happy Water down, glaring as she said, “Aren’t you going to the supermarket yet!”

“Sister Long, don’t litter!”

“Go, go, go!” Long Xiruo directly stretched out her hands in a grabbing motion.

The little butterfly monster instantly fled in panic.

…

…

“Oh… I see, let’s leave it at that.” Liu Minghao soon hung up Wei Zidao’s call, though he didn’t particularly care about his subordinate’s report just now… being the head of the local office, Liu Minghao’s position in the management bureau far surpasses that of Wei Zidao, who has only been in the field for a year or two.

Hehe, the notion of a male incorporating a Xuanyuan royal family princess and Shenzhou’s true dragon into his fold… how could that be possible?

Not to mention how terrifyingly powerful the two are, where in the world could you find a man capable of conquering both?

Even if, hypothetically, such a man exists, given the contentious relationship between Su Zijun and Long Xiruo upon meeting, would these two willingly emulate some kind of Wen and Ying Empress situation—thinking it’s a fantasy novel!

The so-called “boss” might not have a good ending on this ship?

Hmm, but where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire.

Liu Minghao pondered and eventually dialed a number, “Hello, I am Liu Minghao, agent number 1984… Uh, I hope to review some data. Yes… male, age unknown, race unknown, vocation unknown… suspected codename [Boss]… let’s narrow it down to transcendents or demon clan for now… okay, I’ll wait for your message.”

Liu Minghao had just hung up when another call came in directly; glancing at it, his demeanor became considerably more serious.

The caller was Director Yan from the Beijing Administration Headquarters, the closing student of the unparalleled national scholar, Fiery Cloud Evil God; he dare not neglect either of them.

“Director Yan, what can I do for you… okay, I will personally supervise… yes, the first batch has already arrived yesterday… okay, I’ll go soon…”

The call didn’t last long, and Liu Minghao quickly donned his coat and left without waiting for Wei Zidao to return.

This period is likely to be the busiest and most tense period in Liu Minghao’s career.

The reason why various countries chose this city for their summit meetings is beyond this lower-mid level personnel’s understanding.

“However… I didn’t expect the conference venue to be the [Peace Grand Hotel].”

Liu Minghao boarded the car, muttering, “That old toad really knows how to do business… damn, because of this guy, property prices here have risen!”

Salary increases have failed to keep up with the rising house prices, can’t survive!

He is indeed an agent with the management bureau, but he’s also someone else’s husband and father; daily life is no different from the ordinary working class, very much concerned about trivial matters.

Countdown to Shenzhou Summit… ten days.

…

…

Undersea City, Imperial Palace, Library.

This place has collected all precious documents since the era of sinking seas… most are rare copies, and there’s quite a bit of material even from the previous period, the Limoria civilization era.

But most of it is about the humanities, geography, and some essays from the Moria civilization period… more importantly, precious materials from the Moria civilization period have always been personally safeguarded by the Emperor.

However, this library has another layer, a mysterious hidden layer, which only the Emperor has the authority to access… Professor Jin Kailun quietly thought.

At this moment, he was standing in front of a bookshelf and pulled out a book, then came to Lei Yaz.

Lei Yaz started to doze off again… not because he found Professor Jin Kailun’s class boring to the extent of making him sleepy, but because he had been physically exhausted these past few days.

The training from the girl Liuge towards him was truly relentless—physically, it was so, and mentally, it was even more terrifying. She said that the royal Blue Blood Power requires being in an extreme state to make progress.

“This is the history of the development of the Moria period [Flywheel] technology.” Professor Jin Kailun placed the book in front of Lei Yaz, smiled, and said: “Seeing that you’ve done well with your homework recently, today we’ll focus on discussing the history of [Flywheel]. Take a look at this book first, note down any unclear parts, and I’ll explain them to you later… I need to go over there to find some materials.”

Lei Yaz’s eyes instantly lit up; this rare book clearly hit his exhilaration point.

He hastily grabbed it, carefully looking at the catalog, becoming more and more excited with every glance, yet oblivious to the fact that Professor Jin Kailun had quietly left.

The royal library was vast, built in a circular structure with five levels, each filled with bookshelves, like a sea of books where one could easily hide and remain unseen.

…

Professor Jin Kailun didn’t start lecturing initially, so Luo Boss and Ms. Ren, who were auditing students, just wandered around. Soon, Luo Boss pulled out a book from the shelves about the starry sky.

This was a work by an astronomer from the Moria civilization era.

——Is there a boundary to the starry sky above us… or is it, like the mainland we live on, just an incredibly vast space whose end is invisible to our current technology, or perhaps it’s merely inside the body of a peculiar creature not in the same dimension as us…

These words were written on the title page of the book.

Luo Boss saw the book emitting a faint glow… not only the Light of Soul, but also things that have been imbued with the Light of Soul over the long years.

The more inheritance, the stronger the glow of the object, which not only carries knowledge but also wisdom, wishes, and even will.

These can actually be treated as trade items.

“We cannot conquer the starry sky, and even the deep sea today is beyond our conquest.”

In the silence, a gentle voice came, not startling Luo Boss and Ms. Ren there, but drawing their attention.

Approaching calmly was the Emperor who had been missing for several days—next to him, a silver-robed girl followed closely.

“We meet again, Your Majesty.” Luo Boss, as always, was accustomed to greeting first.

“You will see me often from now on.” Louis XXXIX smiled.

He walked up to Luo Qiu, took the book from Luo Boss’s hands, casually flipped through a few pages, and while reading, said: “This is a good book. I once read it for several days, and gained a lot.”

Luo Boss smiled and said: “Does Your Majesty enjoy reading books?”

Louis XXXIX replied: “I have read all the books here, and not just once.”

“Lei Yaz is below.” Luo Boss gestured, looking at the huge desk below.

“No hurry.” Louis XXXIX returned the book to Luo Qiu and casually said, “I’ll go find him later… but before that, why don’t you come with me to a certain place?”

Luo Qiu replied: “Is Your Majesty planning to give me a tour of this library?”

Emperor His Majesty smiled mysteriously: “Another library.”

With that, the Emperor began to walk down another path… Luo Boss handed the book about the starry sky to Ms. Ren and followed him.

Ms. Ren asked the girl Liuge: “May we borrow this book?”

“Feel free.” The girl said expressionlessly.

“Thank you.” Ms. Ren smiled elegantly and followed her master.

But the girl Liuge didn’t follow; instead, she thoughtfully looked in a direction within the library and muttered: “There are so many rats today.”

She disappeared into the dense but orderly sea of bookshelves.

…

Soon, under the Emperor’s guidance, Luo Boss and Ms. Ren arrived in front of a relief sculpture.

The relief on the wall seemed to depict a terrifying war… the warriors roughly representing human figures from the Moria civilization era.

As for their opponent, it was a shadow covering the sky.

The Emperor gave no introduction to the relief, but directly walked to the wall, pressed his hand against it—the wall instantly disappeared, turning into a pure white light wall.

“There might be danger inside; do you intend to go in?” The Emperor suddenly asked.

Luo Boss didn’t say anything and walked forward directly.

Louis XXXIX remarked: “I thought merchants would be more cautious.”

“Then it means I’m not a very qualified merchant.” Luo Qiu gave such an answer.

Louis XXXIX seemed surprised but shook his head and said: “If you were unqualified, you wouldn’t hold onto those conditions so stubbornly… truly too demanding.”

“Still, I hope to become a qualified merchant.” Luo Boss said playfully.

“Go inside; there’s no danger.” The Emperor shook his head and said, “You go in first.”

Without hesitation, Luo Boss stepped into the light wall… followed by Ms. Ren—only she looked at Emperor with a playful smile.

“Your Majesty, luckily for you, it’s this era you met my master.”

Her figure also gradually disappeared into the light wall… Louis XXXIX couldn’t help but furrow his brows—luckily it’s this era?

––Would things be different in another era?

The Emperor shook his head; these two guests from the Undersea City were simply too mysterious—of course, maybe they’re just putting on airs.

Not dwelling on it for long, seeing the two had already entered the wall, Louis XXXIX quickly followed—they entered, and the wall returned to its original form.

Still depicting the war relief.

At this moment, a figure was seen peeking around, slowly walking… it was Konghai, the young man from Professor Jin Kailun’s side.

He seemed to be searching for something, stopped in front of the relief on the wall, and studied it closely, then furrowed his brow.

After a long while, he murmured: “No Sea Demon Clan…”

Afterwards, Konghai slowly retreated, and moved to another area, continuing his search. Nearby, behind a row of bookshelves, the silhouette of the girl quickly flashed by and then disappeared.
